EMDEN. On the basis of its experience from the corona pandemic, Emder Schiffsausrüstungs AG recently supplemented its ship stores management with a vitality concept that takes a holistic view of seafarers’ health and fitness. “We supply more than 4,000 seafarers every day as part of our food management – that is both responsibility and obligation,” said Simon Menz, board member of Emder Schiffsausrüstungs AG. Besides supplying food, the concept includes advice on kitchen equipment, arranging cooking courses and a fitness app.
